Some surprising science fact that many people don't know, an animal egg (chicken, birds, etc) is a single cell, so there's a huge variability in the weight of a cell. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

I found this claim unbelievable, but it is mostly true. It isn't quite the whole egg, it is just the yolk. But that's still a very large cell! http://cnet.com/home/kitchen-and-household/appliance-science... verifies this. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
